Introduction
Pickle works as a security guard at a Buddha statue factory at night. His favorite pastime is to read porn magazines and watch TV with his best pal Belly Button. One day, out of boredom, they grab the dash cam of Pickle's boss and watch the recordings. Pickle and Belly Button soon realize that they have not only intruded a man's private life but also witnessed dirty little secrets that will trigger a chaotic chain reaction.
